An impermeable membrane is placed at the bottom of a U-tube, then equal amounts of water and oil are poured into each limb of the tube such that the height on both sides reads 18.7cm. if the permeable membrane is removed, calculate the height difference in cm of the U-tube, assuming a uniform cross-sectional area of the U-tube and given that the specific gravity of oil is 0.808
